If you've finished both seasons of Blue Lock and are wondering "where in the manga did the anime leave off?", you're not alone. With its intense plot and "battle royale" style between strikers, Blue Lock has become a phenomenon among soccer anime.

The first season, which aired between October 2022 and March 2023, had 24 episodes and adapted chapters 1 to 94 of the manga. However, the story covers the Introduction, First Selection, and Second Selection arcs, concluding with the start of the Third Selection. Of the initial 300 players, only 35 remain. This is when Jinpachi Ego reveals the next challenge: a decisive match against the Japanese U-20 national team. If they lose, Project Blue Lock ends; if they win, they become the new base for the national team.

The second season, which aired between October and December 2024 and ran for 14 episodes, picked up exactly from that point. The players compete for their spots on the final team to face the U-20 national team, now with Rin Itoshi facing off against his prodigy brother, Sae Itoshi. However, the anime ends with a 4-3 victory and introduces a new mystery: the "Wild Card," a secret competition for eliminated players, as well as the arrival of new rival Michael Kaiser, voiced by Mamoru Miyano.

Additionally, the film Episode Nagi , one of the most memorable characters in the main series. Released in Japan in April 2024, it delves into Seishiro Nagi's past before entering Blue Lock.
